Notes About The Poem

Change

the camelia blooms
despite freezing temperatures
off and on since fall
I, like the camelia have
some buds of beauty inside   

gone is outward push
since death visited our house
strength is needed now
grief has hold and zaps my heart
Jesus, comfort me once more

daily my prayer streams
upward to heaven it flows
all our hopes and dreams
seemed lost, but His love restores
He answers my prayers so

hope isn't lost, but changed
change can be good in time, please
open my heart now
let change enter, outward flow
others will see blossoms show

Anne Winter January 5, 2026 at 6:10 PM Dear Sara, change can be scary and unpleasant at times but it is inevitable. And to go through it is very hard. Be patient, everything will be alright. In 2025 evrything changed for me, it was very hard at first but I'm blooming now. You'll be in my prayers. Best, Anne Sara Kendrick January 6, 2026 at 4:58 AM Thank you, Anne, for the encouraging comments. I am glad that you handled the situation/s that you faced and are now blooming. I know you had an inner strength from above.. Sara K

We all need it all the time but sometimes we need it more than others. We never know what a prayer for someone might do. Thank you for the visit. Sara K
